When are you getting oly shoes?

4 x 500m 2 min rest in between (49,52,50 (i think), 48)
those times are not possible for 500m. they would be near-elite for 400m.
especially when he ran 14.41 the other day
well that goes without saying. i'd bet a large amount of money that no person has ever run 500m in even 52s, let alone 48.
edit: it appears that the indoor WR for 500m is 60.17s.
oh lol I misread it as 400m first time round. well that's something.

Being English I've read some LeCarre, though I think in a very different context from you. I'll revisit some soon.
You ever read DeLillo? He's got a weird approach to dialogue that a lot of people hate, but a lot of people (me included) love.

« on: August 23, 2013, 12:48:52 pm »Talk about not accurate. Did the Weight scale test today.
The upper Grip test show 13.8%
and the the Weight scale test show 17.6%
average.... 15.7% + or - 10% is still on the high side..
Still flat-out ignoring advice I see. You can measure your body fat in 100 different ways and the answer will be the same: you have fat to lose!
"is still on the high side"
He admits right there that he has fat to lose.

« on: August 19, 2013, 07:59:03 am »Well like I said - if I were to keep the elbows high then my reach with the palms/fingers would be behind my back... somewhere around the trapezius. So that's where the bar should be in order for me to keep the elbows high. It's basically impossible to do with the bar on the shoulders.
just grip the bar wider, seriously

Lu Xiaojun is my idol. He has the best physique in the world.
Also, I remember this. It was such BS when they didn't let him take his third snatch.

Any other advice? I have very long forearms so the bar would have to sit in the middle of my neck if it is to stay on the fingers... but I'm also unflexible in the upperbody.
So who knows what my problems are.
If you have long forearms you just place your hands wider on the bar. That's covered in Starting Strength, I think. Look up the mobility wod stuff for rack position, he's got a bunch of videos about it.
